Question

Betty is watching her older sister play a video game. Betty’s older sister demonstrates a particular technique in the game that makes her character do a backflip. Betty watches carefully, noting the exact technique her sister uses. After a few hours, Betty’s older sister allows her to play the game and she attempts the technique her sister showed her earlier. Even though Betty is usually very good at video games and remembers how her sister did the move, she can’t quite make it work like her sister did, even after practicing for an hour. Betty seems to be missing some important detail. Which process best explains why Betty is unable to make her character do a backflip? A. lack of attention B. lack of retention C. lack of reproduction D. lack of motivation

Answer 1

C. lack of reproduction is the answer

good luck!!

Answer 2

lack of reproduction

Step-by-step explanation:

Attention refers to whether Betty was paying attention to her sister or not. We learn that Betty watched her carefully, so this is not the problem. If the problem was retention, it would mean that Betty is unable to remember what her sister did. However, we know that this is not the problem either. Lack of motivation would mean that Betty is not willing to do what is necessary to achieve the move, but we know Betty has practiced for more than an hour. The problem is lack of reproduction, which tells us that Betty simply cannot do the move in the exact same way her sister can.
